Technology that Provides Additional Comfort During Treatment
Isolite® is an amazing new technology that makes treatment easier for a patient. As modern dental procedures require a dry field, Isolite makes it possible to eliminate the bulky rubber dam previously used to keep an area of your mouth dry. It also provides a brilliant light so the dentist can perform very accurate work.
Overall, the advancements in this dual-functioning device mean less time patients spend in the dental chair. The mouth is continually being vacuumed, avoiding saliva build-up or swallowing debris. The mouth doesn't become fatigued from being held open as long. And the brilliant light eliminates any shadows to allow treatment to move along and be completed with precision Melinda Marino DDS Family and Cosmetic Dentistry 9910 Mira Mesa Boulevard, Suite D San Diego, CA 92131 (858) 578-0800 MelindaMarinoDDS.com
Yes! There can be more than one problem caused by absent teeth. Due to bone loss, your face can take on a sunken look over time, adding years to your facial appearance. Speech is not always clear and can cause embarrassment. Your ability to chew food properly is diminished, so you will not absorb as many nutrients as you should. Easier-to-chew foods may become part of your daily diet, resulting in unwanted weight gain. Having even one missing tooth can cause adjacent teeth to shift and loosen.
We recommend dental implants to replace missing teeth. They come up through the gums, look very natural, and function like your own teeth. They recapture a beautiful smile and remedy all the problems due to missing teeth.

Not only do our bodies show the signs of wear and tear and age, so do our teeth. Years of caffeine and tobacco consumption can stain enamel, plaque can build up and form tartar, and fillings often loosen and need replacement before decay sets in. Certain medications reduce the flow of saliva through the mouth, which is essential for good oral health.
With regular check-ups, we can stay on top of these and other problems. Gum disease and root decay often show up during senior years, and they require immediate attention to avoid other problems. We continue to emphasize the importance of good nutrition and proper daily dental hygiene.
Prevention Measures to Maintain Health and Vitality
Good dental health contributes more to your health than just maintaining your gums and teeth. Studies show that oral health is related to other conditions such as stroke, heart disease, and diabetes, as well as your vitality and overall wellness.
Dr. Marino uses a new process that is more than just diagnosing and repairing. By recording your dental health or distress on graphs, we have a visual history of oral problems that we take into consideration for treatment and care during your visits. Goals can be set, reached, and maintained so you may enjoy optimum health and energy.
